Few weeks ago me and my friend finished molding Mines lip to his wingless trunk. Here are results after painting:

Then I decided to make a spare trunk for my car.
Picked up a damaged STI strunk from Hatebreed and Mines replica lip.
Had to close all 18 holes including key hole and pull that dent out

Interested in checking out the white one mounted - never got around to doing it on mine and always kicked myself, but never had the skills to do it. The second looks great - my goal is ditching the lower edge on the trunk entirely. Interested in doing a v3? ;)

^^^^^
hmmmm...maybe I'll re do my trunk and get rid of that lower edge. The more I think about , the more I wanna do it

Nice. I'm entirely serious - my wingless trunk has a so-so paint job and the work I've seen you do looks great, so if you want to bust another one out I'm game.

This is going to look SO much better than the STi trunk. Everyone and their mother rocks the STi wing, its so played out and old. This is so clean and fresh.
Can't wait to see finished product on your car.

Looks good man!

Lookin awesome bro. Glad it is working out well for you! :)

That looks so clean!

i would suggest trimming down the lip before molding it, otherwise it doesn't have a real molded feel.

Exactly - that guy's down south, right? SD?
i want that kind of integration, but rarely see it done to that extent.

I want that trunk, lol.

thejordan 02-26-2011 06:44 PM

ya he's in sd, he trimmed the lip so it fit better. look at the edges, they're pretty thin. we were molding our trunks at the same time, but he GOT the last mines at the time so i just went limited.
